What are the benefits of a boot liner for your Peugeot?

As a highly versatile vehicle, your Peugeot may be used for various activities, including the general commute, dog travel, or carrying large items like golfing equipment. Your Peugeot may be exposed to several odours and possible damage and scratches.

A boot liner is specially designed to cover and protect your boot, providing a layer of defence over the flooring, usually carpet. They can be made of high-quality materials, depending on the type of boot liner, and offer a durable barrier against sharp objects, heavy loads, and daily wear and tear. Other benefits of a boot liner for your Peugeot include:

• Better protection against dirt, damage, and scratches

• Easy cleaning and maintenance

• Hatchbag boot liners provide better comfort for your dog compared to flat rubber or standard PVC liners.

With a variety of Peugeot models available, drivers may want to consider a custom-made boot liner, specifically tailored to the exact dimensions of the boot area. This ensures maximum coverage and protection, as well as a neat appearance.

Comparing Peugeot boot liners: Different materials and types

Choosing a boot liner material that is appropriate and suitable for your needs is essential. For your Peugeot, each boot liner option offers advantages and disadvantages. Understanding the differences between these options can help you make an informed decision that suits your vehicle and lifestyle needs.

• Manufacturer-made: These are produced directly by Peugeot, or official third-party companies. Peugeot-made boot liners are designed to fit a specific model range and often come as an optional extra when buying a new vehicle. This type of boot liner also often comes designed in the Peugeot branding for authenticity.

• Custom-made: These are specifically designed to fit the exact specifications of your Peugeot model. Hatchbag creates liners that provide complete coverage and optimal protection. Unlike manufacturer-made options, custom-made liners are cut and designed to follow the contours of your boot, ensuring that every inch is covered.

While manufacturer-made liners are a convenient option, they may not always offer the best fit or the highest level of protection. The design often prioritises a universal fit for a particular model range rather than a precise match for your specific vehicle.

Conversely, a tailored boot liner prioritises originality and ensures a perfect fit every time. At Hatchbag, your Peugeot boot liner is developed with the help of a 3D scanner, which our Design Team uses to scan and precisely measure the car’s boot in our workshop. Our designers then develop the individual pattern for each car in a process lasting several weeks. It is then cut by a state-of-the-art machine and hand-made by our experienced Production team. This complex process is essential to produce the boot liners in the quality that Hatchbag and, of course, our customers expect.

The tailored fit and high-quality materials of custom-made liners protect the boot and enhance your Peugeot's overall appearance. They provide a sleek, professional look that can elevate the vehicle’s interior and maintain its value over time.

Different boot liner materials | How does reinforced, flexible PVC compare to other materials?

Choosing the right boot liner may also require comparing materials and assessing their suitability, particularly if you own pets. Many boot liners for Peugeot cars are made from rubber, fabric or standard PVC. While standard PVC and rubber are both waterproof and hard-wearing, they aren’t well suited to dogs as they don’t offer as much comfort.

The Hatchbag boot liner, on the other hand, is made of flexible, reinforced PVC. This means it’s waterproof and easy to clean but much more comfortable for your pet. The material itself also provides maximum protection against all the dirt, debris and moisture that car boots encounter. Additionally, flexible, reinforced PVC is less likely to absorb odours than fabric materials, meaning you no longer need to worry about that wet dog smell!

We recommend using both a Hatchbag boot liner and a covering rubber mat for cars transporting very heavy, large items, such as prams, camping equipment, and golf clubs to provide extra protection. When these bulky objects move around freely in the boot, they can indeed cause damage to the plastic trim and other interior surfaces. The surface of a rubber boot mat reduces slip but allows heavier objects such as prams to move across the surface without snagging. The underside of the mat is textured to eliminate any slip between the boot liner and the mat.

Which Peugeot boot liner accessories should you consider?

Consider car accessories that aim to enhance the functionality of your boot liner and provide additional protection for your Peugeot’s interior. Particular boot mat accessories perfectly complement the liner, adapting to your specific needs and lifestyle requirements.

If you are travelling with dogs, it can be difficult to maintain their safety and comfort while also protecting your Peugeot’s interiors. Without proper care, your pets may damage the boot area, with muddy paws, scratches, and bad odours filling up the rest of the vehicle. To combat this, we suggest complementing a boot liner with our Hatchbed Mat, which is recommended by vets and pet care professionals.
